What do Clients Say?

We have been involved with dozens of Realtors over the many years we have moved from place to place. Patricia Tan’s knowledge and insight of the Sarasota real estate market is incredible, far exceeding what we have come to expect from the world of Realtors. This combined with her gentle and personal touch with clients puts her way at the top of our list of very special Realtors. She will be the Number One and only one on our list when asked for Sarasota Realtor recommendations."

Joel & Barbara Zimmerman, California

We had the pleasure to work with Patricia Tan for 5 years as we planned our retirement in Florida from New Jersey. We found Pat to be one of the most knowledgeable and caring realtors we have ever had the pleasure to work with. After being referred to her by a mutual friend, Pat quickly understood what our needs and tastes were and showed us a number of potential residences in both Bradenton and Sarasota. We found a home that we truly love, and with her guidance, we purchased it at a very favorable price. After closing on the home, Pat served as our rental agent and she helped oversee the property in our absence and kept the home in splendid condition. We wholeheartedly, without reservation, recommend Pat to any prospective buyer of properties in Sarasota and Manatee Counties.

Patricia Tan is a true professionals. She recently assisted with the sale of a home as part of a probate proceeding (estate sale). From the initial meeting through the closing she made sure things ran smoothly. Anytime I emailed or called she responded quickly. I appreciated her experience and advice on how best to sell the home and setting a price. I highly recommend her and will use her services again in the future.

Patricia Tan is one of the best agents I have come across in Florida. She is hugely knowledgeable about the market, her local areas, and also extremely helpful to deal with on every occasion. Being the sort of person who will go that extra mile, buyers who have found a property through Pat, and I have met many over the years, have been full of praise.

About Patricia

Patricia Tan was born and raised in England, where an early interest in mathematics drove her to a career in IT.  She loved working with people and solving problems, and spent 20 successful years in IT sales, solving business problems around the world.  She lived and worked in several countries in Europe and South East Asia, where working across cultures instilled excellent communication skills, and attention to detail.

Pat spent five years as a Director of an American real estate franchise in London and together with her husband undertook property investment projects.

Having achieved career success, it was time for a change that would allow more time with her two young sons.  The desire to live in a warm climate drew the family to Florida.  In 1997 they moved to Sarasota for its casual coastal living, small town feel with big city amenities, and one of the best school systems in the State.

A licensed REALTOR® since 2004, Pat has built a successful real estate business with a focus on international clients.  She is also a licensed real estate instructor in 5 states, and has served on many committees for her local, State and National Association of REALTORS®.  She continues to give back to the community: she serves on the board of a local charter school and is a former board member of Center for Architecture Sarasota.

Over the years Pat has earned many real estate awards, but the one of which she is most proud is having earned, for 14 consecutive years, the Five Star Real Estate Agent Award which illustrates her high professional standards and commitment to outstanding customer service.

Pat lives with her husband in Sarasota where she enjoys boating, theater, live music, wine and fine food.
